If you only have one...not a bad choice! Does everything with even heat distribution, enamel inside and out clean readily. Rooster atop gets comments all the time. Dimples neath lid moisturizes food, etc. evenly
Even heat distribution and continual moisture release via small nobs on lid make this one a must have. Large enough for decent-sized chicken or roast. Gradual coloration of gray color is quite appealing
Third one for me in this deep blue colour. Pleasantly surprised by the fact the bottom has adequate size for braising as well! Cute rooster for uniqueness...Easy cleaning inside and out.
Never had oval-shaped cocotte before...yet nearly all guests make comment! Heats up quickly/cleans easily and nice deep burgundy-like colour. rooster handle looks neat and doesn't wanna burn ya!
I like that it's a little larger and have made a couple of Stews this past winter. Really like the knobs as an embellishment. Very strong & cleans up beautifully.
That rooster knob is a plus to have for a well priced value Staub cast iron pot. This 5.75qt cocotte size fits chickens up to approximately 5 lbs. or 2 whole chicken.

Beautifully crafted with the rooster finial! This is a substantial pot with all the features you expect form a Staub cast iron. It is perfectly suited for roast chicken dishes such as the Coq au Vin, but I also like the shape for braising veal and lamb shanks. Brown meats to perfection and simmer till tender! The tight filling lid with the dimples ensures continuous moisture flow. The innovative black matte interior will not stain !! go ahead and use all your exotic spices! Beauty!
